I love how this entire video is basically Dr Mike predicting what will happen next to Zach or what infection he has, only for Zach to confirm exactly what he's guessed 😂

[@jessicagomez1760]

The immunocompromised community appreciates Zach telling his adventures with his health and how a "simple" wound can be catastrophic for some individuals. Bringing awareness to the topic and empathy for Im comp peeps is the best Zach has done for us all 💖 thank you Mike for talking about this too in a more detailed and educational matter 🌻

[@nikwalters1029]

Can we appreciate the Mike/Zach edits? 😂❤

[@samanthaandal6580]

Off-topic tho hearing Zach say "my wife" for the first time has me so soft i'm glad the wedding was able to push through they looked so happy

[@nathanp.525]

I'm a med student, and this story could have been my semester's end exam, lmao. This is one of the most typical infectious disease related case I've seen on this chanel, it's got it all : skin wound in an immunocompromised patient, then infection, followed by antibiotic associated colitis. Very cool and nicely explained !

[@catiestrieb474]

My father passed away from CDiff 2 years ago. It was a random infection, and it took him from us in 3 weeks. I am so glad Zach did not develop a worse case. It is very scary.

[@Legionmint7091]

In Sweden the entire cost would have been about 20-30 $ for the hospital and 20 $ for the medicine. I would have had at least 14 days days payed work leave, but probably more (never needed more). We also have excellent hospitals.

[@vanillanoxfleuret]

Zach knowing you pointed out his misspelling was hilarious. He’s such a comedic delight in videos but also one hell of an inspiration for us chronic pain people

[@Nooorrriii]

As someone who is in nursing school and knows a bit about this topic (immunocompromised mom who recently also got C. Diff) I really like that Zach seemed to have took in or researched and put in a lot of accurate info that Dr. Mike didn’t have to go in and explain. There’s a lot of false info on TikTok and other social media, happy he explained and did his research.

[@mochs62512]

Insurance companies are the bane of my existence. The fact that he has DOCUMENTED C DIFF and NEEDS that med and insurance is like "lol no", is unfathomable

[@elisawestvirginiamountainm1019]

I have been a medical transcriptionist for 27 years. You were speaking about the commercialization of healthcare and you are so right. It used to be that doctors were able to treat their patients how they determined best. With the commercialization, now patients are treated based on what insurance deems to be the right treatment (not run by doctors, but by people in finance), so long as it is not overly expensive. Doctors used to love caring for their patients but the changes since they are so stressed about the financial end of it that they have to abide by since they are no longer independent physicians and now work as a corporation, their hands are tied on what they are allowed to do to treat a patient. I have watched this change over the years and it is heartbreaking.

[@Cantetinza17]

Poor Zach! I appreciate his horror story. I went to Urgent care for a severe nasal infection and it was a long wait! My entire head was on fire, I was praying for a bat or a guillotine. I realized that there was only one doctor in that whole facility. A bunch of nurses, but only 1 doctor. I was like dang. I feel for medical professionals.

[@laureneliza2437]

As someone who works in the NHS, it’s great to see people with platforms spreading awareness of how hospitals and other care settings are struggling. We get in this job to help people, however the consent under funding restricts this which breaks are hearts. We’ve had a lot of strikes at the moment in the UK, the junior doctors are this week, due to the poor conditions, underfunding and our wages. Something has to change for the future of healthcare and for us to continue giving the best help we can to our patients. Despite all this though, I will always continue to give my patients the best care they need. To my fellow healthcare colleagues around the world, stay safe and positive, you’re doing a great job. I’m glad Zach is all good now and had a great wedding. Also Mike, you should come to the UK!! Would love to see a video of difference and similarities or different healthcare across the world.

[@pikagamergirl16]

I was recently seriously worried that my insurance wouldn't cover my most recently prescribed medicine, which costs $13,922 per dose, and it is absolutely insane to me how insurance seems to randomly decide when to cover or deny coverage for medicines. Hospitals may be falling apart and made a mistake by discharging Zach without his medicine but that is also on the insurance company for denying coverage of the medicine that was necessary for Zack to leave the hospital.

[@thivz6630]

As a doctor myself, this entire picture is really concerning.

[@lydiastormberg1075]

I praised nurses in the hospital when I had heart surgery. The nurses did everything. When I was unsure they sat me down and talked through it. At midnight I was in so much pain they gave me medicine. They cheered me on when I stood up for the first time in so much pain. Even simply taking me to the bathroom they walked along side of me. They were extra cheerleaders that I needed to get through this crazy time. They help my parents calm down and said we got her we are with you.

"His pulse is kind of high, it's 94"

[@dorianrohangray9418]

I love how empathetic Dr. Mike is. You can tell how much he really cares about people's health and wellbeing.

[@trinitybernhardt9944]

It's cool that you collabed with this and were able to add insights. I have non healing ulcers caused by Scleroderma, so I related to this video way too much. We mostly have infections under control now. Maybe once or twice a year, but for like 7 years straight I was almost chronically infected. I am also allergic to all but 3 or 4 antibiotics. I have had C-Diff so many times. So this was a very familiar video. Glad Zach is doing better and was able to get married.

[@lindaherrick1147]

That was a rollercoaster experience! Happy that Zach was able to get married and is on the road to recovery. It’s always interesting seeing what Dr. Mike observes and anticipates then see it come to fruition in the video.
